Michigan's unemployment rate edged down in April by one-tenth of a percentage point to 7.4%.

While the change was barely noticeable, data released by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget also showed that the state's workforce expanded last month and that the jobless rate has now declined for eight months in a row.
